IOWA PROGRESS REPORT

The Dakota Access Pipeline is an approximate 1,172 mile, 30-inch diameter pipeline that will transport domestically produced light
sweet crude oil from the rapidly expanding Bakken and Three Forks productions areas in North Dakota to terminal facilities
in Patoka, Illinois. It will transport up to 470,000 barrels per day with a capacity as high as 570,000 barrels per day or more. The
project will include six gathering terminals in North Dakota with 142 miles of gathering lines, one pump station in each state and
1,026 miles of mainline pipe.

FAST FACTS
IOWA by the Numbers
Dakota Access has an office in Urbandale, Iowa, from which employees
will manage the permitting work and preparation for construction of the
pipeline. Dakota Access will use union contractors Michels Corporation
and Precision Pipeline, LLC to construct the approximate 348 miles in Iowa.
Michels Corporation, which has a field office in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, will
construct segments in Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota totaling
380 miles. Precision will construct segments in Iowa and Illinois totaling
476 miles.
As part of the agreement, Michels and Precision will use 100 percent union
labor, with up to 50 percent of the workers sourced from local union halls.
Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent in labor payments in Iowa.
Dakota Access estimates that up to 4,000 local construction workers will be
employed for the project in Iowa.
Dakota Access has purchased voluntary easement agreements on more
than 99% of the properties along the route in Iowa. Overall, Dakota Access
has executed easement agreements on more than 99% of the properties
across the entire four-state route.
Dakota Access received permit approval from the Iowa Utilities Board on
March 10, 2016. Dakota Access has begun construction in all four states and
intends to be ready for service by the end of 2016.
Findings from the Des Moines, Iowa-based Strategic Economics Groups
economic and fiscal impact study show that Dakota Access will pay an
estimated $33.1 million in sales tax revenue to the State of Iowa during
construction. Thereafter, the project will make an annual property tax
payment to the traversed Iowa counties each year in service. The estimated
property tax to be paid in Iowa in its first year in operation is $27.4 million.
The Dakota Access project team has held over 242 meetings with local
elected officials and community organizations in Iowa since the project was
announced last summer. In addition, 18 public Open House meetings have
been held in Iowa.

ENERGY IN IOWA
According to a study published by 24/7 Wall St.
using U.S. Energy Information Administration
(EIA) data, Iowa is the 5th highest per capita
energy user in the United States, surpassing
Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. In 2013, Iowa
used roughly 490 million Btu annually per
person. Unlike other high-consuming states
that are also among the nations largest energy
producers, Iowas energy sector produces less
than 1% of the nations energy.
EIA data also shows that use of petroleum
products in Iowa was approximately 233,000
barrels per day in 2013. But it is important to
note that Iowa does not produce any crude oil,
nor does it have any refineries to convert
crude oil to petroleum products, making the
people of Iowa dependent on sources outside
the state to meet their energy needs. The
Dakota Access Pipeline will enable producers
to increase the amount of domestically produced crude oil that is transported to refining
markets around the country.

BENEFITS
Domestically produced crude to support domestic consumption.
Bakken production will be able to reach the Patoka Hub from
where shippers can access multiple markets, including the Midwest and Gulf Coast.
Gulf Coast refineries will have additional access to North American
crude oil production which will reduce our reliance on foreign oil
imports.
Reduction in truck and rail utilization, increasing overall safety to
the public and the environment.
Long and short term economic benefits to areas affected by the
project via consumption of goods and services.
Additional income to residents via right-of-way compensation.
Creation of construction and service jobs.
Long-term job creation to operate pipeline and facilities.
Long-term tax benefit to communities and state property taxes.
